I Love This Land Australia

I love this Land Australia of gum and wattle tree This vast and sunlit Continent is home from home for me And though I come from a distant Land when I have had my day Than underneath Australian soil where better place to lay. I love this Land Australia home of the kangaroo Of echidna and wombat, platypus and cockatoo Of lorikeet and rosella, koala, possum and emu And other unusual birds and animals as I've mentioned just a few. I like Australian people if poor man make good they say The man he is a battler, good on him anyway, In Land of wedge tailed eagle there's rooom to spread one's wings And in the lucky country the battler is a king. I love this Land Australia it's home from home for me, Home of the kookaburra and gum and wattle tree And bell bird and bell magpie who through the Winter sing A Winter oft times milder than Ireland in the Spring. I love this Land Australia of sunshine and bird song And with each passing day my love for this great Country grow more strong And though I come from a distant Land when I have had my day Than underneath Australian soil where better place to lay.
